- The REAL Fastest Name in Radio Control is Arrma, not Traxxas. But that's a different story. Here's the Arrma Vendetta 3s BLX (A Mad Fast RC Car!) ripping up the tarmac! Anyone want to see the New Arrma 4x2 Boost's on the channel?

Ha ha
Not the worst prize I’ve had
Marketing genius. Take notes people.
Love some rock crawler wheels
Never considered getting one of these until seeing this . It looked steady as a rock
Yeah, it was solid!
They are nice for the first month then they fall apart
They are nice for the first month then they fall apart
@@justinsrcs7974 you mean traxxas cars right?
@@justinsrcs7974 Really? All of them?? 🤔
Their modular design has to be a big win for maintenance and modding as well.
vendetta owner here, just wanted to confirm that the noisy trans is normal. mine is the same way but I think it adds character. It's a damn good rc.
Those Arma are very impressive, I think somepoint will have to get one. The way they drive and go straight and true is a sign of quality control and setup. Nice to see a manufacturer living up to their claims. Cool video
You’ll love it… rips around like a boss 😅
I have 3 Arrma's now, and they have been my favorite vehicles in over 30 years. If you run Traxxas, you will fall in love with Arrma. I have a 6s Kraton(destroys), a Felony 6s(absolutely shreds), and a Limitless V2 on the way
@@bradd145 BUT!!! You are missing out on 1 of the baddest RC's ever: the 3s Typhon! Stock wheels are excellent but after running them three or four times I moved to the 6s Typhon Wheels. The 6s Typhon wheels are excellent on road and off-road but once they lose their tread they become on road slicks that grip extremely well. I run a hobby Wing set up in mine and it does about 70 mph on 3s so I go between 2s and 3s. Absolutely in love with it on Road and off road but on the road I drop the suspension and lower it a little bit. Stock setup is extremely plush and tuned well as long as the shocks don't leak. There's tons of options now for upgradable shocks and for a few years now they've been using a better motor mount so the bearing issues from the past with 3s Motors are not as common. If you get bored with the setup you can turn it into a little 3s Truggy Typhon by widening The Stance or you can convert it to a Big rock crew cab or 4s Kraton. Both 3s on road rigs are awesome too! Don't get me wrong my favorite RC to jump ever is my 6s Typhon and I send that thing about 60 to 80 ft EASY but for bashing I like the 3s rigs better.
Yep as Phil says you'll love it, im thinking about getting one to add to my collection, got the Kraton 6s v4 and the Limitless v1 amongst some rare cars and theyre both amazing, but the Limitless is fantastic best rc purchase ive ever made, great for speedrunning, bashing or even drifting and ive had loads and loads of different models, got nearly 20 years experience and worked in my local hobby shop for years even done work experience there 😂 so go and get yourself an Arrma on road you wont regret it 👍😎😜
Dear ARRMA - This week alone I bought the Big Rock, and the Granite. Next week, the Vendetta.
ALL THANKS TO TOMLEY RC ‼️ He's honest, straight to the point, & tells you like it is- not just how he feels about it. He's the reason I buy your products!!
If history is any indication, Traxxas will probably sue you lol. I completely agree with you on your opinions of claimed abilities vs reality.
Yes, I’m sure they are looking at me from every direction to try and pin me down for something. I’m just ‘spitting facts’…. as the kids would say
If Traxxas sued you would be the easiest win ever, you just show the jury the 2 boxes, you show them your videos comparing the two boxes, and the two car's performance... Jury has most entertaining court case ever , Craxxas loses. LOL.
@@TomleyRC yes sir you are. I appreciate your candor. I really enjoy your channel. Cheers from Tennessee.
@@manchildrcI’m from Tennessee as well. Wish we had more dedicated places for RCs
Love how smooth and planted it is. Lovely piece of kit.
Yes, not much out there you can just nail the throttle and it goes 70mph! Or slide around a car park one handed!
@@TomleyRC Ideal!
At last a genuine speed written on the box. Nice to see it, hope it becomes standard.
Hopefully 👌
My Typhon 6S is true to the claims as well. I haven't used the high speed pinion yet, but I've gotten 68mph on the slow one. The box advertises the same 70+ mph as the Vendetta with the optional gear that's included.
@@LordPrometheous totally beside the point I know,but this goes the same speed as your 6s typhoon on 3s,imagine how fast this would go on 6s ( with different esc obviously)
Arrma is definitely bringing very good products on the market, I hope to have one of these in a few weeks, thanks for sharing it!
Really a great car based on a great chassis, if I were in the market for an all road it would definitely be on my list.
Yes, it’s a decent car!
Finally something as advertised! No expensive battery upgrades and aftermarket parts to empty your pockets. And it's not bad priced.
Reaaaally wish they would make aluminium shocks though
I've overlooked these but after seeing this video I'd really like one. Although with the amount I've spent on RC lately if I mention it to the wife I'll be neutered!
My family has been spending a lot of money with Traxxas in the past, but a few months ago I bought an Infraction 6s and one of my sons bought an additional Infraction 6s and another bought the Vendetta. All I can say is we are absolutely hooked on these trucks and car. Arrma has done well.
Excellent review, Phil! I recently discovered your channel and I've been absolutely binging your content from the past couple years - love the channel and your approach to content creation. Cheers!
I agree love the Armas outta the box just picked up a bigrock also because of your videos. Awesome truck added to collection. Remember it's not hoarding if it's anything R/C
Big Rock is a solid choice 👌
AWSOME!!! Love these kind of comparison videos.
I especially like it when you call out the manufacturer on its B S… or not, it’s still good to know when they do make good on there promises, like arrma. I would like to make a correction on a previous comment I made Traxxas (did not) include a second high speed 33T pinion gear with my Bandit VXL, that was my 4Tech VXL.
Thanks Neal. This thing was a blast!
Beautiful car indeed, Phil! And fast as heck! 😃
Loved it!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks mate 🤘
Hats off to Arrma, very refreshing to see. 👍
Arrma is doing it right “out of the box”!
I could feel the smile on your face no need to even see it. Nice. Arrma sure knows how to build RC’s that put a big smile on your face.
Very nice! That is probably one of the least likely RC cars I'll ever buy, but I do like watching it on video!
I don't comment very often on your videos, but I really do enjoy them. All the best on your pro TH-cam adventure!
Thank you, really appreciate the support 👍
I'm lucky enough to own a few Arrma cars and they are all epic, and all do what the box says. Gotta love Arrma. John
Arrma is killing it atm. The new 2wd brushed lineup looks like an xl-5 lineup killer.
Yes, love the look of the Vortex
Unfortunately the new 2wd brushed vehicles come with a 2 in 1 esc/receiver.....I typically prefer arrma to traxxas but the xl-5 vehicles have better electronics than this 4x2 line. The mega line are some nice vehicles.... I'd take them over the xl-5 everytime.
@@highwaysanddrivewaysrc2002 most people fit there own esc and motor combo and change the receiver anyway. For those that want a base to mod saving money on parts they don’t want this is a good option with the boost range.
@@davemitch729 agreed there when it comes to upgrading although it's not all that much different than traxxas xl-5 lineup then. Also with that tower hobbies scratch and dent sale most of the mega line were only $150..... hard for anything to top that.
@@highwaysanddrivewaysrc2002 yeah that’s a great price if your in the US unfortunately the uk never gets such good deals we always end up paying so much more sadly. If you can get a mega for $150 then it’s a bargain to good to miss
What a street beast . Some great footage 👍
Brilliant, love to see people calling out companies on their BS. Especially when it's Traxxas at fault. 👍
Thanks mate
As long as Losi and Team Associated make RC cars, I will never own a Traxxas.
@@TheCabledawg1 their penchant for petty lawsuits is the reason I won't own one. I broke a few years back and got a UDR, within a month I'd sold it for the Mojave. Best RC decision I've made. F*CK Traxxas.
@Knight Recon The money n the electric n they way faster that Y they not keeping them alive.They maybe need to do a hybrid...
Excellent work as usual Mr Tomley - your content is top notch and much appreciated.
Well played on the criticism of your driving comment too - that was my favorite part !😮😝
Production and editing has gone up a notch since i last watched. Liking the faster pace 👍
WOW! This thing is amazing especially when compared to the Traxxas's flips and lack of control. This thing was on rails. Sold.
Wow amazing my friend 🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍 70mph thats something
I'm a truck type car myself but this looks mean and clearly does exactly what it says on the box!! Very tempted, and the colour is the beans too!!
I've seen so many vids of the Vendetta, and it took this long before I saw someone finally drift it around a bit like it's the 3s Infraction. It was making me wonder if it was only good for straight line passes. Thanks for showing its full potential!
Probably because it wears out the tires when you burnout and tires get expensive.
Always enjoy your videos. Another good one. Lots of fun.
Thanks Joseph
Love your frank and honest reviews, great presentation and editing too. Keep it up. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I loved my vendetta, i put a few upgrades in and had it running on a 6s max 8 combo.
It was mental, ate a set of tyres eveey time i used it and pretty much exploded when i hit a kerb full pelt.
No idea how fast it went as i was in between GPS systems - the vendetta certainly taught me a couple of lessons. 1 - have a GPS and a spare for Justin. 2. Film everything - if you are going to spectacularly crash, at least record it for posterity.
Great video! I love how you keep the companies accountable. I never thought you could get these speeds on a 3S! 👍
Crazy on 3s isn't it!
So many people seem to love this platform. I didn't have good luck with it. But my slash 4x4 was weak too. The arrma 6s was a game changer.
What an awesome looking machine! And yet another great video dude 😎👍🏻
I can confirm that the 1/10 scale Arrma vehicles (3S and Mega) have a loud transmission.
for sure, GOOD JOB ARRMA!
Not something I can afford but I certainly can appreciate its a well thought out and put together car . Like the D shape keyway for the pinion , nice idea . Very nice piece of kit 👌 . Just needs the Batman logo lol
Yes… Batman! I need a clear body to paint 😅
@@TomleyRC cool if you can. Might need some scale weapons though for finishing touches lol
That looks like a lot of fun. I'm not sure I'd be able to find a good place to run it, but it's tempting.
Thankyou very straight forward video. I will be looking into getting one soon.👍👍👍
I love my Vendetta. It's a speed demon and an ultra-fun street basher. I really like this video because of that, but I love the premise of "I just like RCs and I like them to do what they say they'll do."
I really wish they didn’t discontinue it
I do love the vendetta. Excellent video.
Great review Phil! Man that thing Rips! Awesome! 👍🏼
3 months of daily runs & Hoons Silver starting to show wear . 3 months of stock low 60 but last night new toy feeling wore off and speed pinion installed . More fun that i ever thought , Mr. Tom Lee rc. ( Utubes spelling )
Excellent RC Car Run Mate!
Keep up the good work fella. 👍 ✌🏻 🤜🤛 👏 👌
The onboard camera always looks awesome.
Yes, looks good on this one doesn’t it 👌
3s battery, supplied speed pinion, supplied speed wing, runs 70+ EASILY. Take THAT Traxxas! :)
I had a vendetta for a about two weeks before I moved to the mountains and sold it cause i wasn’t going to have a good space to run it, but it was a blast when I had it. The thing rips stock and is a ton of fun driving on asphalt or slick concrete. If you’re looking for a first speed street basher I highly recommend this
I absolutely love my Vendetta. Did some sweet mods and will be on the hunt for 100 mph before the snow flies. Cheers
Yes, I’ll be chasing 100mph as well 👌
I've always liked Arrma. I have a modded senton 4x4 3s that is very fast and has never really let me down. Cool video 🙂👍
Really pleased you’re pleased ,with pleases me …😁
I’m pleased you are also pleased 😅
I have a brushed infraction I've turned 3s BLX via the go bits from my Granite BLX and it's such a hoot. My ideal kind of driving around on flat dirt or pavement is drifting/powersliding and out of the box even on the puny brushed stuff, it's a complete blast. I'm in the process of setting it up with Hoons Elevens Silver wheels and a ProLine Mustang GT body. The Infraction BLX is the same as the vendetta BLX, I think it just has a different pinion and of course a different body. You could swap body posts and body and there you have it. It's absolutely a huge blast. It's even more fun on a loose flat dirt oval etc.
Thanks for the video! I have a Vendetta on the bench still in the box while I finish a few other projects. The lime green one, so I can see it! will run it stock, then tweak it a bit to chase 100 also....good luck on your quest! 👍
These are awesome, ive the infraction 3s version, pinion came loose so needs locktiting before you run it, i use it for high speed drifting and tyres last for ages, they wear down 5mm of rubber before theyre unusable, about 15 battery packs, its cost effective drifting and has hit curbs full speed over 50 times and never broke a thing, amazing car
Great video and rips with the Vendetta. I was so impressed with mine when I got it, I had to get another when I caught it on sale😀 The motor is 6S capable also haha
Oh… 6s you say!
@@TomleyRC Drop in the Spektrum 150amp and give it rip... only speedrun tho slipper will strip if u bash🤪 Need to slightly adjust body and secure the rear wing from flapping and it's ready!
Awesome Tom love the content keep up the great work and videos 💪🏽😎
Thank you 🙏
I got my arrma vendetta just over a week ago, absolutely love it so far, not got it up to high speeds yet, not comfortable doing that yet 😂
They rip don’t they! So much fun, even on stock gearing
Or take it off and see if it's even faster 😉
The diffuser should keep it on the ground anyway!
Can't wait to see the battle of the fan boys 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's quite a bit of deflection on that rear wing at full speed. I like that view where you can see the down force.
Yes, it has a flat spot, and I’ve seen people put a little screw in there to give it a bit more stability 👍
Vendetta ..love it ..I have the yellow one ..one of my favs
Awesome isn’t it 👌
Phil youve just sold me on the Vandetta , man what a machine im the sort who buys so many dam cars i never get a chance to run them i have just Opened my Felony after it was delivered over 12 months ago lol, also today in the mail arrived the Team associated Trophy Rat and the Axial Capra , last fortnight was the Elements Rc Knights custom Knight Runner , need more time off to run my toys ha ha ha thanks for a great video as am happy now to pull the trigger as i like the Yellow/greeny looking one for my old 47 yr old eyes at speed will be able to see it - JUST !! lol thanks Phil love it 🙂
haha, sorry Andrew :) Sounds like you have a nice collection!
im tempted to get one of these to try to hit 100mph, hoping an esc, 4s and maybe a slightly bigger pinion will do it 🤔
I've heard they are not to hard to get to 100mph... on 4s, not sure what gearing though
Oooh slick editing in this one, Phil. Nice one.
Thanks mate. I wanted to try and not drag it on too much. The Bandit video was way too long
I enjoyed your evaluation of the car. It was well done and it confirms what I saw on another channel. It seems like a little thing, but coming out of the box straight as an arrow says something about quality control. It's an impressive rc. Even the sound was neat as it went by your position on the road. Please don't stand so close to the car when your doing speed runs. I am a grouchy old man, but accidents can happen.
Yes, it's a really nice 'out the box' speed basher. I only stood in the road once I was confident it was going to not be out of control :)
@@TomleyRC Good. I am just a grouchy old man.
Don't have any Arrma cars as yet but fully plan too. I have no desire for anything in a Traxxas box..not sure why. Just not drawn to them. Love the channel dude, keep it up 👍
Thank Kevin. Appreciate the support
Nice vid , thank you ✨
I actually ordered a blue one when they first came out, then cancelled my order as there were no parts available including wheels and tyres being 1/10 scale 12mm hex.
Now I may get one.
Great review 🇦🇺👌🤔
Great video as always 👍. Thanks
When this car first came out I thought it was awesome looking! My LHS have them in stock. Arma should release a clear body for painting. I can think of a dozen or so liveries to use!! Nice video! 🤘
Look at the replacement parts for the clear body.
Got this for 230 right before Christmas at tower happy with it very nicely made looks like more money then it is and is bigger then I expected
Arrmas have looked good to me for a while; i'm thinking one will be my next purchase (eg next year)!
I was leaning towards the Felony 6S, but this little Vendetta 3S looks awesome too (although, my biggest disagreement with you is the colour choice 😉 although blue looks good, it'd have to be the bright yellow one for me!)
At least with bright yellow you’ll see it coming 😅
@@TomleyRC Thats why I went with the bright yellow, gives me half a chance at seeing it lol.
the felony is the best looking car by arrma by far, i got one and it is awesome
Half the price of the Felony 6s and only 10 mph slower and that's on 3s. Pretty amazing when you think of it
@@davidmellish3295 I agree it’s awesome! I have seen some great videos of what the felony is capable of in dirt though… it DOES look very cool!
nicely done and smart car
nice lowdown camera angles man! that thing is a ripper for sure!
Great vid as always. if only all rc companies products performed as described.
wth man, i JUST finished up a vendetta run last night. this'll be great! that is some clean 4k footage sir.
How good is it! I love it 👌
@@TomleyRC I dont really do speed run but dang she is a BLAST right outta the box. No camera tricks here either just a WHOLE LOT of ankle-bashing speed. 🤣👍🏽
Love the classic/new, Alien/Aliens watch. Good taste Sir! Gotta love a good Casio. Great vid as well, lol
100% epic vid and review tomley grtz Angelo from belgium
Thanks dude 😎👌
I love the tires on this car, they’re usable for probably over 20 runs. They will go bald after about 10 but if you’re just drifting around it doesn’t matter much, just don’t take it out in the wet.
Nice to know that Traxxas has some competition out there, helps them to keep their game up!
Great car and very stable👍🏻. Love mine. Going to buy a better battery and see if it does 75mph. Good video!
I think 75 is achievable 👌
That dust rooster tail looks like real low/ground effect cars, excellent aero, stability and handling and design on this, I'll never even consider Traxxis if I get an RC car again one day!
Yes, a lot of people just see it as an RC Car with a cool race car looking body. But the Aero on it is really well designed. Hence it's so stable!
I may have this hopelessly wrong, but the other day I'm sure I saw a mate plug and xt90 battery straight in to an arrma ec5 connection. It didn't look like it would fit but it was a perfect fit. I'm off to try it myself now on my big rock , so apologies if the comment is premature. Worth a look. Save a lot of soldering in future :)
When this first came out it reminded me only of lizards with it's crest. But seeing it track this quick and straight and actually seeing that blue color up close makes me like its lizardness.
Phil i changed my esc to do 4s (had a brand new 120amp spectrum) & kept the motor, and on 4s is crazy over 70mph 😜. Love my vendetta 😉👍🏽💯great video brother
Impressive! I must get myself one of these!
You’ll not be disappointed
Cool car, looks really planted. I like the design too. I only have on Arrma, the Infraction, may get more though.
Infraction is a good choice!
Transmission on my Big Rock seemed loud to me also. But, haven’t had any issues with it. Kind of a great do it all car stock out of the box.
11 months on I finally got one… £216 shipped to Blighty. Thx as always for the inspiration Phil 🤙
Yes, I got one at that price as well.... what a bargain! It's a beast for sure!
Damn it!
Now, I need this😜
lovely car, lovely video
On ya Tomley keeping these big companies honest ( well trying to😂) looks like you had a blast anyway. Keep up the nice work.
HI PHIL I'VE JUST GOT MYSELF ONE OF THESE FAST COOL CARS. £330 brand new in blue. First run tomorrow. Can't wait 😊🇬🇧✌🏼
Great looking car, agree about traxxas & I own several of them.
This thing is awesome !
Good video and constructive criticism against Traxxas. All Good. All fair.
Hate all weird promises on boxes that never seems to be correct. Happy to see that Arrma keeps their statements.
That thing looks awesome
The green one looks better in my opinion.
It's a bloody impressive when you see it shooting past and leaving a trail of dust in its wake.
I ordered a green one just for visibility sake, but I do agree.
